NEW YORK, Nov 11 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks were poised for a
flat open on Tuesday, after the Dow and S&P 500 extended their
streak of record closes for a fourth day.

Transportation and healthcare stocks helped boost the S&P
500 on Monday to its 39th new closing high for the year,
versus 45 in 2013. The last time the index set a record high in
four consecutive days was in June, while the last five-day
streak was in May 2013.

The benchmark index has rallied 9.4 percent since hitting a
six-month low in October, buoyed by supportive economic data and
solid corporate earnings reports. For the year, the index is up
10.3 percent.

"It's been grinding higher, a pretty impressive rally off
the bottom," said Andre Bakhos, managing director at Janlyn
Capital LLC in Bernardsville, New Jersey.

"We have equity demand driven by the perception of improving
economics and companies' earnings prospects."
